this probably helps them get re-elected in some of these districts. i don't see that dynamic that's coming in. a month ago or so we were talking about how the republican party was in tatters after the shutdown. i think that was probably hyperbole in the same way healthcare.gov was going to end the obama presidency. >> i don't know if this is devil's advocate or heavy-handed liberalism. the notion that people now have a personal tangible experience with the health care law, which is to say their children are 26 and kept in the law, lifetime limits, cheaper premiums. in some cases they don't have cheaper premiums. being a woman, you don't have to be punished for it under the health care law. there are many ways women are repressed by republican all over the country. the point is karl rove was on fox saying the president repeated the things we've heard for months as to the benefits of the system. you get to keep your child on your insurance until age 26 and so on and so forth. it hasn't helped to a great degree. it's as if he's clearly trying to diminish

we have budget deals, we have debt ceilings, we have campaigns and elections coming in 2014. what's to say, oops, we didn't get to the other parts of immigration, but now we have more fence and more enforcement on the board rder. >> you know, the activists have not let this go. there's this day of fasting. there are a host of, you know, sort of sit-ins and engagement with republicans who have been intransigent on the issue. this issue is not going away for them, but if, as vicky outlines, the only measures they pass are punitive ones, i think that actually stands them in worst stead with americans in general than if they were to do nothing. >> oh, i think that's abundantly clear. because the bill that democrats and immigration advocates are willing to accept at this point is one that a lot of people are having a hard time swallowing because of this, like, $30 billion to $40 billion they want to throw at militarizing the border and just turning the border. when they say border, you know, they mean dozens of miles outside of the border encompassing tens of millions of peoples'

obama elected in a highly democratic nation, even with its racial divides. there's just no comparison. it actually doesn't surprise me, though, that we didn't hear as much about mandela in obama's books, because the truth is, you know, the president in becoming the first black president had to spend a lot of time convincing white americans he would be the president of all americans. >> race does not tread into very frequently and in some cases does not. >> unfortunately that's part of the politics of the united states, to become the first black president, he felt the need to spend a lot of time talking about his kansas roots, not his kenyan roots. >> another theme of the last few days has been the relationship mandela had to his opponents, one of grace and forgiveness and shrewd negotiation as well. hearing the president talk about what richard brought up, you can't understand your supporters but you also need to understand your opponent. seems like as much a reminder for democrats as it was a sort of signal to republicans that this is about both teams here.

the difference f.w. de klerk handled the need for change and inevitable election, democratic election of nelson mandela, truly legitimate for nelson mandela, he was never legitimately elected. for him to recognize his role in history as a patriot at that point so different than the way mitch mcconnell handled the election of obama. so different. to set it up that way, the juxtaposition, they were willing, mcconnell people on the far right were willing to destroy the country to destroy obama. whereas to succeed in a country he live f.w. de klerk was wi to see it transformed to black rule so it could be done successfully so he could have his country have a better future. reverend, i owe it to you. i think that is the key statement about what happened yesterday, the loss of mandela and what his history is about and the key statement of why this has been so poisonous the last five years. we have real people in this country with real power and status who have used that status of power to hurt the country so they could hurt the president. that's the most damming assessment i've heard and i
